Some people do not attack women’s boundaries directly.

They fog them.

They turn a woman’s “no” into a debate.
They turn her caution into “overreacting.”
They turn her discomfort into “bias.”
They turn privacy into “exclusion.”
They turn safety into something too complicated to honor.

That is one of the games people play with women and girls’ safety.

They keep pointing to the grey areas, hoping we forget the clear ones.

But grey areas do not cancel a woman’s right to boundaries. They do not cancel a girl’s right to be protected. They do not turn a red flag into a welcome mat.

When someone says, “You never can tell,” “You never can tell who is right and who is wrong.”

we can answer with wisdom:

Exactly.
That is why we slow down.
That is why we pay attention.
That is why we protect women and girls before harm gets a head start.

Safe people make it clear that they want women and girls to be safe, and then they set about making it happen. The End.
